Abstract:Selective reduction of one of the nitro group present in dinitro aromatic compounds by a novel Zinin reagent, H 2 S-laden N-methyldiethanolamine (MDEA) solution, has been explored in the presence of tetra-n-butyl phosphonium bromide as a phase transfer catalyst under the liquid-liquid mode of reaction. Under the room temperature reaction condition, reduction of 2,4-dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT) with H 2 S-laden MDEA leads to the selective reduction of one nitro group present either at the fourth position to obtain … Show more
